Ultra-compact Daniel Defense pistol caliber carbine with 8.3" cold hammer forged barrel, free-floating M-LOK rail, SBA3 brace, and ambidextrous controls. Mission-ready 9mm platform.
The Daniel Defense DDM4V7 Pistol Caliber Carbine represents the pinnacle of short-barreled AR-platform design. This ultra-compact braced pistol delivers genuine capability in a highly portable package—ideal for shooters who demand both performance and maneuverability.
The 8.3" cold hammer forged barrel with 1:10 twist provides exceptional accuracy and extended service life. The 1/2 x 28 threaded muzzle accommodates standard aftermarket 9mm suppressors and muzzle devices, giving you flexibility for your specific mission requirements. Cold hammer forging ensures durability and consistent performance across thousands of rounds.
Fully ambidextrous lower receiver design allows you to operate all critical functions—safety, mag release, and charging handle—without moving your dominant hand from the grip. The proprietary pushbutton magazine release (rather than paddle-style) enables faster, more intuitive reloads. The hydraulic buffer system significantly reduces recoil typical of direct-blowback firearms, improving control and follow-up shot accuracy.
The 9mm cartridge offers shooters cost-effective training and practice ammunition without sacrificing terminal performance. The DDM4V7's efficient design maximizes velocity from the compact barrel, delivering reliable ballistics for defensive and recreational applications.
Manufactured in the USA by Daniel Defense, this platform combines proven AR ergonomics with purpose-built pistol caliber engineering. Every component is selected for reliability, durability, and mission readiness.
